Kaka moved to tears in farewell MLS game

Kaka's final game for Orlando City ended in disappointment as the MLS club lost 1-0 to Columbus Crew in an emotional encounter on Sunday evening. The former AC Milan midfielder was moved to tears during the American national anthem as he lined up alongside his team-mates for the final time. The 35-year-old one-time Ballon D'Or winner later thanked Orlando City fans for all their support during his three-year stay at the club. "Today was a special day for me because the whole day kept reminding me of these past three years, everything that happened, in this city, with this club, everything. Today is just about [saying] thank you," Kaka said in an address to his home fans. True love from our Captain. #ThankYouKakapic.twitter.com/DMBLveTLNu— Orlando City SC (@OrlandoCitySC) October 15, 2017 "I'm going to miss you guys. I'll be a Lion forever." “I asked our players for a little extra; I asked them for a favor,” Orlando City coach Jason Kreis said. “We all wanted to send [Kaká] out the right way. This was just another piece of disappointment.” Kaka announced he would not be renewing his contract earlier this month and is now expected to return to Brazil. He stopped short of announcing his retirement. Two young fans say farewell to Kaka at the end of his final game Credit: AP “As you all know, my contract with Orlando City ends this year. My final decision is not to renew,” said Kaka. The former AC Milan playmaker revealed living apart from his children was a big motivating factor in his decision. “Family is very important for me. Living in a country different from my kids, this is something I have to put on the balance as well,” he added. “But I think what I need right now is a new challenge and new motivation, so this is the most important thing for me, and what I am basing my final decision [on].”
